profert in curia

profert in curia
/profart an kyuriya(m)/ L. Lat. (Sometimes written profert in curiam.) He produces in court.
In old practice, these words were inserted in a declaration, as an allegation that the plaintiff was ready to produce, or did actually produce, in court, the deed or other written instrument on which his suit was founded, in order that the court might inspect the same and the defendant hear it read.
The same formula was used where the defendant pleaded a written instrument.
An allegation formally made in a pleading, where a party alleged a deed, that he showed it in court, it being in fact retained in his own custody. But by virtue of the allegation, the deed was then constructively in possession of the court. The profert of any recorded instrument, as letters patent, was equivalent to annexing a copy. This result did not occur, however, in the case of other documents, such as a note
